Japanese cars of the ʼ70s are slowly but surely becoming a collectors dream and it's easy to see why - this 1975 Mazda RX-3 with its red exterior is proof enough. This japanese classic is a true rarity and a quick walk around showcases just why, the car sports all its exterior trim proudly, you would find all its chrome shining and all its badges intact.

The black interior cabin of this 1975 Mazda RX-3 is proof of this 1975 Mazda RX-3's reported low mileage. Step inside and you are treated to this classic's factory interior trim in place with the only exception being an aftermarket air-conditioning system in place to brave those hot summer drives.
The rotary engine is one that has been on many manufacturers' offerings, its small but mighty nature is a recipe for a good time and makes for a lovely thing to listen to when in action.

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.

The Mazda RX-7 holds the distinction of being the most mass-produced rotary-engined passenger car in history! Yes, there have been other mass-produced rotaries, such as the NSU RO80 and Mazda’s own RX-8, but none ever managed to match the sheer numbers of RX-7 production. How much is that exactly? Over 811,000 examples over three generations! Today’s 1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL is a nice second-generation example from Lake Barrington, Illinois and could be yours! It’s done just 63,000 miles and comes with a naturally aspirated example of that famous 13B twin-rotor powerplant.
The Mazda RX-7 is one of the most popular sports cars in the world because of its mold-breaking rotary engine that’s proven to be a tuner’s dream. That’s why you see highly tuned and built examples like this 1989 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II “Mariah Mode 6 Stage V” around. It’s said to be Build #1 by Mariah Motorsports of Santa Barbara, California, and comes with a long list of components. The build plaque notes that the car has got an eye-widening 468 horsepower for you to play with. Furthermore, you’ve got the signatures of James Hagerty and Dan McCue on the engine shroud. We’re also told that the car has passed California Smog tests (March 2024) but is not CARB compliant.
Japan in the 90s was an era that has most definitely changed the automotive landscape for the better. While legendary machines like the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline GTR and the Mazda RX7 are over 20 years of age, they sure make for some really good times when driven right. Present today is the latter of the aforementioned japanese legends and takes shape with this 1997 Mazda RX-7 Bathurst. With 164,000 KM displayed on the dashboard, this limited edition 90s performance powerhouse was released to commemorate Mazda’s consecutive wins at the Bathurst 12 hour race and is a treat on track that dons some tasty upgrades.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
